"buses with ... low floors completely level with the platform."
I've looked and looked for examples of those and they are nowhere to be found. I'm not challenging you on this, I really want to find examples to propose to Atlanta's regional planners.

It's a big day for streetcars. Portland has released its draft Streetcar System Concept Plan, an ambitious vision for extending the city's popular downtown streetcar all over the city. There are similar plans underway in Seattle, Minneapolis, and many other cities. I love riding streetcar...

Hey guys this is great, but you are still missing one key, critical need. I need for you to 302 redirect on what would otherwise be 404 errors to a URL of my choosing with the not found URL passed as a query parameter. Doing that could really open up what we could do with this static sites. Please...

As you may already know, you can host your static website on Amazon S3, giving you the ability to sustain any conceivable level of traffic, at a very modest cost, without the need to set up, monitor, scale, or manage any web servers. With static hosting, you pay only for the storage and bandwid...

I was so excited when I saw the email about redirects, only to be quickly disappointed to find that it doesn't provide what I've been asking for a long time. Kinda like the kid who has been pining all year for an XBOX for Christmas only to open his present and find a used Atari 2600 circa-1977. :-(
Here's what I'm looking for, and it would seem like it would be trivial to implement: When a bucket is configured as a website either
1.) Allow the website's error document to be an absolute URL (to another domain) and if so then redirect to the url including two query parameters: error_no and object_name.
2.) Add an optional 3rd URL to a bucket's "Website" tab used for 404. When the URL is specified redirect 404 errors to the URL with the object name as a URL query parameter.
If you do this then we can use Amazon S3 for image hosting on demand. When our website HTML references an image object that doesn't exist on S3 we can have S3 configured to redirect to our website for the image which will serve a local image and kickoff an automated upload of that image to Amazon S3 so that next time that image object is requested it will serve from S3. This is important because images can be resized so there are effectively an infinite number of images that could be served. And I want to build a WordPress plugin that would use Amazon S3 for image hosting in this manner.

Our friends at Boostability have been using Amazon S3 to help their clients build websites hosted on Amazon S3. Boostability provides search engine optimization technology and fulfillment services to agencies, media companies and phone book providers. I recently chatted with Jared Turner, ...

Webbots, Spiders, and Screen Scrapers: A Guide to Developing Internet Agents with PHP/CURL

Among programmers of any experience, it is generally regarded as A Bad Ideatm to attempt to parse HTML with regular expressions. How bad of an idea? It apparently drove one Stack Overflow user to the brink of madness: You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. ...

I think Apple's Mac OS X UX designers could learn some incredibly valuable lessons by paying attention to Fitt's Law and this post. It's amazing ows such a commonly lauded OS can have so many little design flaws (ones that the "Cult of Apple" so willingly overlooks.)

If you've ever wrangled a user interface, you've probably heard of Fitts' Law. It's pretty simple -- the larger an item is, and the closer it is to your cursor, the easier it is to click on. Kevin Hale put together a great visual summary of Fitts' Law, so rather than over-explain it, I'll refer...
